In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Marguerite Duane, a board-certified family physician and co-founder of FACTS about Fertility. Dr. Duane draws on her extensive expertise to explain how hormonal contraception works, its impact on women's health, and evidence-based alternatives like fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs). We dive into the rising dissatisfaction with hormonal birth control, as many women are speaking out on platforms like TikTok about unintended side effects like decreased libido. Dr. Duane outlines common side effects, the rationale behind accepting them in favor of pregnancy prevention, and why so many women are turning to FABMs for family planning and overall health. Dr. Duane also provides clear insights into the effectiveness of FABMs and how they're rooted in extensive research. Whether you're exploring natural alternatives, curious about the science behind hormonal contraception, or seeking guidance on finding knowledgeable medical professionals, this episode offers empowering, actionable information for reclaiming your health. GUEST BIO:Dr. Marguerite Duane, MD, MHA, FAAFP, is a board-certified family physician and co-founder of FACTS about Fertility, an organization dedicated to educating healthcare professionals and students about fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs) for family planning and reproductive health. She serves as Director of the Center for Fertility Awareness Education and Research at Duquesne University College of Osteopathic Medicine and is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Georgetown University. Dr. Duane balances her career as a healthcare educator and family physician with her role as a wife and mother of four children. She is passionate about helping women understand their bodies and make informed choices about their reproductive health.SHOWNOTES: FACTS about Fertility website: https://www.factsaboutfertility.org/FACTS about Fertility Instagram: FACTS about Fertility Facebook: VIRTUAL CONFERENCE 11/11/24: https://www.factsaboutfertility.org/2023-facts-virtual-conference/Directory (find a medical professional): https://www.factsaboutfertility.org/facts-physician-clinician-educator-directory/Blog: https://www.factsaboutfertility.org/blog/ MY LINKS:Managing Your Fertility: https://www.managingyourfertility.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/managingyourfertilityFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/managingyourfertilityYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCrRnJn-h0cjd8HdRBsWm8QFact Sheet for Your Medical Professional: https://go.managingyourfertility.com/factsheetformedprofessionalStart Your Chart™ Course: https://go.managingyourfertility.com/buystartyourchartAFFILIATE LINKS:Shop my Amazon Storefront: https://amzn.to/3MRxbTC20% off Proov Test Strips: https://proovtest.com/?wly=5789320% off your first Olive & June Mani Kit: http://fbuy.me/v/bridgetbusackerbc10% off your Tempdrop: http://www.tempdrop.com/discount/managingyourfertility3 months free & 20% off your Hallow subscription: hallow.com/managingyourfertility10% off your order at Ember Co: https://www.theember.co/?ref=91010% off your order at Be a Heart: beaheart.com/managingyourfertility15% off your order at Abundantly Yours: abundantlyyours.org/bridget10% off your Mentionables order: https://www.shopmentionables.com/?snowball=FERTILITY10&utm_source=snowball&utm_medium=affiliate-program&utm_campaign=FERTILITY10DISCLOSURE:This description may include affiliate links for products or services mentioned in the podcast.
